Cooking InstructionsAlmond float
In a saucepan, heat the milk and sugar with 2 cups water until scalding. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until dissolved. Stir in the almond extract. Pour into an 8-inch-square dish, and set aside to cool before chilling in the refrigerator. When firm, cut into diamond shapes.

Fruit salad
In a saucepan, bring the sugar, salt, and 11/2 cups water to a boil. Add the fruit and lemon juice and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool, and refrigerate. When cold, add the water chestnuts. Serve the fruit salad topped with two or three almond floats.
